The Ten Year Affair (3 page)

When the king and queen of the prom was announced it was no surprise to
most students that Ian and Alex took home the crowns. Alex herself however was
surprised. She had a lot of friends but she had never been a part of the
popular crowd. She was overjoyed but not because she was chosen as queen, but
because Ian couldn’t avoid her now. As queen of the prom, she was required to
have a dance with the king. Ian approached Alex smiling wickedly and offered
her his hand.

“May I have this dance my queen?”

“Certainly, your Excellency. I would be honored,” she replied. As Ian
held her close and spun her around the dance floor Alex was in heaven. They
laughed and enjoyed each other’s company just like always. They parted after
their dance but Alex felt him watching her all evening. Towards the end of the
dance Alex watched Ian cross the dance floor and ask Peter for permission to
share another dance with his queen.

“Fine with me buddy,” Peter had said trying to sound indifferent but she
found out later he was inwardly seething with jealousy. Peter had seen how the
two of them had enjoyed their last dance together and ever since had been
sipping at the flask he’d smuggled into the school gym. “But I want her back.”

As Ian and Alex swayed on the dance floor to the slow number Ian held her
close. She could feel his warm breath on her neck and his lips were close to
her ear softly touching her occasionally as they moved. Every inch of his body
was so hard and strong. His teeth were so straight and white and his skin such
a glorious brown. She wanted to run her fingers through his wavy, ink black
hair and found it almost impossible to turn away from his stunning bright, sparkling
blue eyes. He was the most gorgeous creature she had ever known. She so
delighted in his touch. She was almost limp against his body. She could feel
her nipples harden and wondered if Ian noticed her body’s reaction to him. Alex
didn’t understand it herself. Ian was the only boy who ever made her body
squirm for his touch. Suddenly she felt the hardness of his erection pressing
against her belly and looked up into his face in astonishment and saw that Ian was
obviously embarrassed.

“Alex, honey I’m sorry. Please don’t be angry with me. I’ve never been
able to control myself when it comes to you. I can see that you’re not totally
unaffected by me either.” He grinned as he glanced down at her breasts. Alex
flushed in embarrassment and looked out over his shoulder.

“Ian, I want to ask you something and I hope you will be honest with me. Why
do you avoid me? Why do you act as though I’m not alive most of the time? I
think you like me. We’ve always had fun together and enjoyed each other’s
company but you’ve avoided me and treated me so coldly in high school. But then
we shared that kiss and I thought….why Ian?” Alex demanded.

Ian grabbed her chin and turned her to face him. She knew she was
returning his gaze with puppy dog eyes but she didn’t care. She felt so good
right now and so desirable because of the way he was looking at her.

“Alex you can feel the answer to that question hard against you right
now. Because I can’t control myself around you. Because I want you more than
anything I’ve ever wanted in my life. But I don’t want to hurt you Alex. I
can’t risk getting involved. I have plans... goals. There’s college, law
school, a possible judgeship.  I want all these things Alex and I’ll never
achieve them if I let you distract me. You frighten me Alex. I’ll be leaving
for college soon and I don’t want to be in a serious relationship and I was
afraid that would be exactly what happened if I let myself become involved with
you. Please don’t think I was never tempted Alex. You’re so beautiful.”

He twined his fingers in her hair and softly caressed the nape of her
neck. As if suddenly remembering where they were he dropped his hand. The song
was coming to an end.

“Alex do me a favor and don’t leave me right away. If you do we might
both be pretty embarrassed. Let’s walk outside for a second into the cool night
air when this song is over and please stay close in front of me.”

Alex giggled at Ian’s obvious discomfort. “Maybe I’d get a kick out of
you being embarrassed by your condition. Yes, maybe I would,” she teased.

“Alex this isn’t funny...pleeeease.”

“Don’t worry Ian. I won’t desert you.”

The doorbell chimed and brought Alex back from her memories. Damn. She
had gotten so wrapped up in her memories she hadn’t noticed how long she had been
soaking. She quickly dried off and threw on her short, emerald silk wrap. Her damp,
golden curls hung loose just to her shoulders. Her skin was smooth and bronze
from all her days spent at her grandparents’ pool relaxing in the sun’s warmth
thanks to the early summer like weather. Her body tingled with excitement for
the man waiting for her at the door.

Keep it cool Alexandra. Don’t let the jerk know you can’t wait to see
him.

Alex slowly made her way to the door since she didn’t want Ian to sense
she was so anxious to see him.

She took a big breath and opened the door. Ian’s breath caught in his
throat. She wore a short lacy silk robe that clung to each of her curves and
matched the emerald color of her eyes. Her nipples were hard and cried out to
him for his touch, his taste.

“You are so beautiful,” he sighed. “How is it that I am so lucky to have
you?”

Alex took his hand and pulled him into her apartment and locked the door
behind them.

“I hope that you didn’t come here empty handed because I need to eat
something before you ravish me. Did I remember wrong or didn’t you say you were
cooking dinner?”

“I decided I would take you out to dinner instead but then you greet me
at the door half naked. I don’t think I’ll be able to leave this apartment
until I’ve tasted you Alex.”

His eyes were dark and full of desire. Alex knew the look. She had known
the look for years now and she could bet her eyes looked the same. Ian threw
off his jacket and started towards her; he loosened his tie and threw it away
as well. He started to unbutton his shirt and groaned as Alex started to undo
the tie of her robe. Alex was slowly backing her way towards her bedroom and
their eyes never left each other as Ian stalked after her leaving a trail of
clothing in his wake.

Did she want him half as much as he wanted her? She smelled so good. Strawberries.
Ian couldn’t control his hunger for her. He wanted to feast on her body and for
her to feast on him. He wanted her lips on him. On his mouth, his neck, his
chest, his stomach and god yes his manhood. The thought of her warm, wet tongue
and lips on him kept him awake on the nights he was able to fight off the
temptation to see her. Alex thought he spent his time away from her romancing
other women which is just what he wanted her to think. He couldn’t have her
dreaming up fantasies of marriage and children so whenever he felt things were
getting too hot and heavy he would back off. He would refuse to allow himself
to call her for weeks; he even went three whole months one time without being
with her. When not seeing Alex he would be sure to escort the most voluptuous
women he could find to public functions so that Alex would continue to
understand that there would never be more between them than wild, hot, glorious
sex. Up to this point Alex hadn’t cared. She would look the other way and wait
for him to call again. But Ian knew his luck would run out eventually. Alex was
too wonderful to be alone forever. Some lucky man would make her his wife some
day.

Alex untied her robe and teased Ian by rubbing her wrap seductively back
and forth over her body occasionally giving him a slight glimpse of what was
underneath. When they reached the bed Ian was still hurriedly shedding his
clothes. Alex dropped her robe, turned, and crawled sensuously onto the bed.
When she reached the top she turned over to face Ian. His chest was heaving
hard and he was having some trouble getting his pants removed and was silently
cursing. Alex giggled. “Having problems?” she teased and slowly spread her legs
to tease him further. “I need you Ian,” she purred as she slowly massaged her
smooth, flat belly. “I want you.” He stood before her now, pants removed. He
looked like a Greek god...the most beautiful, muscular, bronze sight. His shaft
was thick and bulging and she longed for the moment he would fill her

“Damn you Alex, do you want me to come before we even get started?”

He grabbed her feet and pulled her bottom to the edge of the bed and she
squealed as he kneeled between her legs

“I have to taste you Alex. I’ve thought of nothing else all day. I want
to taste your whole body. Tonight is about pleasing you Alex. I want to drive
you wild. I want you to never want another man after tonight.”

It was too late. The words were already out of his mouth. What had he
been thinking? Did she catch what he just said? Would she think he meant
marriage? He couldn’t make her think he wanted an exclusive relationship with
her. But isn’t that really what he wanted? Otherwise, he’d never have even
thought that. He couldn’t worry about his slip now. He would concentrate on pleasing
her as he promised and deal with his mistake later.

He pulled her up to kiss her and the heat between them was unbearable.
She grabbed his shoulders and her nails dug into his flesh. He worked his way
slowly down her body with his tongue and lips leaving her wet and wanting. He
teased her for what seemed an eternity at the top swell of her breasts before
finally taking her pebbly nipple in his mouth and stroking it with his tongue.
He paid equal attention to the other nipple suckling and nipping at it with his
teeth as he softly brushed the other breast with the palm of his hand. After
nearly bringing her to the brink with his nipple play he slowly took his tongue
and left a wet trail down her flat stomach. He raised his head and looked into
her glazed eyes. God how he loved loving her. Seeing the desire and the need in
her eyes that he put there. He slid his middle finger into her moist folds with
his gaze never leaving hers. She gasped and arched her hips forward welcoming
the invasion. Two, now three fingers were inside her testing her readiness for
him.

“Do you like that baby?”

She was wet, so unbelievably wet. He didn’t know how much longer he could
hold out. With his thumb he gently massaged her swollen nub. He glared above
her with dark, hungry eyes then dipped his head to her breast and suckled once
more.

His tongue lightly flicked her hardened nipple and Alex could feel and
hear how wet she had become as he continued to massage her sex. He moved to her
other nipple and Alex felt totally out of control. She never wanted so much.
Never needed so much.

“Ian...Ian”, she whispered.

“What baby?” he answered.

“Don’t stop, don’t ever stop.”

“Oh, baby. I couldn’t stop if I wanted to.”

“Please now Ian. Please now.”

Ian answered in a low throaty voice, barely able to speak himself.

“No baby. I told you I wanted to taste your whole body tonight. I’m
hungry for you Alex. I’m not finished tasting you.”

The pleasure was more than Alex could bear. How could a man who made her
so angry most of the time treat her with such tenderness and...love.
Okay
Alex. Wake-up. This man does not love you. He desires you. Don’t get carried
away with crazy thoughts just because of how he’s making you feel right now.
Ian’s
voice brought her back to the moment.

“Just lay back and enjoy baby. I want to please you. I want to make you
come hard all night long.”

With those words he gently parted her legs. His gaze had still never left
hers and he continued to hold his gaze on her eyes as he lifted her legs and so
gently and softly kissed each of her inner thighs.

“You’re so wet baby. So wet. It’ll be so easy to slide inside you. But
not yet. I’m going to make you wetter than you’ve ever been. You will want me
more than you’ve ever wanted any other man.”

Another man. Right, Alex thought. There’s never been another man I’ve
ever wanted. She wanted to tell Ian that but she knew if she ever did it would
be sure to scare him away and that was the last thing she wanted to do.

“I don’t want you to ever want another man but me Alex.”

His mouth had now found its way to the lips between her legs. His tongue
flicked and teased her swollen nub as he caressed her thighs and buttocks and
brought her legs to rest upon his shoulders. The pleasure was too much. Alex
could no longer fight her release. He softly and so tenderly suckled her clit
and sent her over the edge. She bucked and slithered and tried to get away from
his mouth...his tongue… but he held on to her buttocks tightly, not allowing
her to get away as he continued to devour her sex.

“Stop please Ian. Oh god, please stop,” she cried as the convulsions
continued to take control of her body.
My god how I love what he does to me,
how I love how it feels but dear god I need it to stop. I need it to stop now.

“Ian she cried. Ian no!” But he held tight and didn’t release her. As her
convulsions began to subside she felt tears trickling down her cheeks.

Her body trembled as she pleaded with him.

“Ian! Dear god please. I can’t, I can’t do this any more. Please!”

Ian raised his head from between her legs and eased her higher up on the
bed. He lay down beside her and took her in his arms.

“What’s this?” He asked. “Why the tears? Did I hurt you?”

He cupped her face with both hands gently brushing the tears away with
his thumbs and tenderly placed a kiss on each cheek and finally her lips. Alex
had no strength to talk. They laid there for several minutes with Alex holding
her and saying he was sorry. What the hell could he possibly have to be sorry
for the damn idiot? Once Alex had the strength she breathlessly spoke.

“Oh, Ian please stop. You have absolutely nothing to be sorry for. I just
can’t talk right now. You’ve exhausted me. It’s been so long. It was beautiful
Ian. Beautiful. That’s why the tears.”
